i've seen uber high voltage power supplies submerged in oil to prevent arcing, but a home pc is a bit retarded.
i run a pretty high end workstation all day long at work with the processor and memory pegged and never have any problems.

I looked at the site a little more. This guy is a *****. His optical drive and hard drive are outside of the tank. 
On another note: this computer must be a beatch to work on... what an effing mess.
